Manchester United target Harry Kane has reportedly made a key demand to Real Madrid president Florentino Perez amid speculation about a move away from Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
The 29-year-old striker is currently one of the most in-demand players in the market ahead of the 2023 summer transfer window.
Tottenham are reportedly bracing for Kane's potential exit as he has just a year left on his contract. The London outfit would be willing to cash in on him this summer rather than risk losing him on a free transfer in 2024.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy isn't keen on selling Kane to a Premier League club, which could open a door to the English striker moving abroad this summer. Spanish giants Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing Kane this summer.

It appears that Spurs forward Kane could be the man to challenge Benzema for a chance to lead Madrid's attack next season. The 29-year-old English striker is reportedly aware of the competition he could face for a starting spot in Real Madrid's starting XI next season.
The prolific goal scorer already has a huge demand for Florentino Perez to meet according to El Nacional. It is believed that Kane has requested a level playing ground with Benzema in a bid to compete for a starting position in Madrid's starting XI next season.
